The Problem
•Owning a Pool Requires a lot of Work
•Traditional Chemical Test Methods are Imprecise
•Improper Pool Care could result in Eye and Skin Irritation
•Your Time is Valuable
Project Overview
 Create an automated Pool Chemical Regulation
System.
 Monitor both pH and
ORP(Oxidation Reduction Potential)
 Mechanically Add Chemicals to regulate the pool.
 Give basic control and vital updates via
web/Smartphone interface.
